It grows to about 40 to 60 cm tall (in cultivation) but can apparently grow much larger in nature. Overall, the plant's slender habit is reminiscent of bamboo, hence its common name. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Southeast Asia, this plant is popular both as a potted plant and a garden plant, as it is very robust and fast-growing in a tropical climate. Even in our greenhouse, it has proven to be a very robust and grateful plant. It can also be kept as a houseplant, but it grows comparatively slowly there. However, it looks very different from anything else currently available as a \"common\" houseplant. A real novelty!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a strong, multi-stemmed plant in a 9 cm pot. It should be repotted, as the rhizome already completely fills the pot!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57337389941113,"sku":"Alp003","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Kolowratiaeruciformis_RedBambooGinger_01.jpg?v=1779897859","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/kolowratia-eruciformis-red-bamboo-ginger","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
